Obesity and Weight Gain
Obesity affects much more than a person's appearance and sense of self-esteem--it also represents a serious health risk for a wide range of illnesses and diseases. Often obesity is just one part of a much larger clinical picture of interrelated imbalances inside the body. Besides poor diet and overeating, there are a variety of physiological dysfunctions that can lead to increased fat production and other sources of weight gain.

Weight Gain and Thyroid Hormones: Thyroid hormone imbalances can slow the body's metabolic rate, promoting an increased tendency to put on weight.

Weight Gain and Adrenal Hormones: The adrenal hormones cortisol and DHEA play a major role in the body's fat production, and imbalances may even trigger episodes of binge eating.

Weight Gain and Allergies: Many people are unaware that weight gain can be the result of a hidden food allergy.

Weight Gain and Cardiovascular Health: Because obesity greatly increases the likelihood of heart disease, it's best to know how the biochemical environment may also be influencing cardiovascular health.
